I am a *BIG* GP2 fan, but you are making a very inaccurate statement 
by saying GP2 is *still* the best sim ever built!!! Especially 
considering that you seem to have missed out the latest major sim 
release, namely GPL.

GP2 was probably the best sim on its release, and for a while 
afterwards, F1RS and its newer incarnation, MGPRS2 are probably the 
best *modern* F1 sims at present.

Almost universally accepted as *the* sim of the day, is.....GPL.

And you really underline your absurd remark, by including F1 Racing by 
Pysnosis as a sim!!!

Next time, *THINK* before you post such a sweeping statement.
